The developer of Flappy Bird, currently the most popular free mobile game on Apple App Store and Google’s Android Play store, has announced that he is taking the game down. “22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down,” Dong said adding: “It is not anything related to legal issues.” “I cannot take this anymore,” he wrote. “Flappy Bird is not to the taste of many game investors because it’s just hit-based which will bring very uncertain cash flow and no recurring,” said Nguyen Hieu Linh, investment manager at the Japanese CyberAgent Ventures Inc. “I doubt he needs to fund raise as he’s already earned a certain amount of money and he doesn’t need more help to make this kind of mini game,” Linh added.
